Update from Microsoft Build and Google iO Developers Conference Last week May 2019

 

Microsoft was extremely interesting for enterprise customers.

However, they did talk about Microsoft Edge using Chrome, Office 365, and what caught my attention was the potential to have a voice input interface which would allow the user to talk to any personal assistant: i.e. you don’t have to remember any specific wake up keywords.

 

Google IO was squarely aimed at consumers.

Hardware: Google Pixel 3A, and Google Nest Hub Max.

Software: lots of improvements to the Assistant, Privacy, Android Q (coming with Dark Theeme), Android Auto, Android TV, and my big ones

 Project Euphonia, and

Live Relay.
